That's what you spent days arguing. Your argument at the time was that since we describe measurements by using our base 10 numerical system, that means the feet/inches system is base 10. You were adamant that the feet/inches system couldn't be base 12, and that people who were telling you it was base 12 were idiots.

It was fucking hilarious. Some of your greatest tard ever.

*waits for vehement denial that he ever said any such thing*

IIRC Dopey was also arguing for his "pyramid inch" standard to prove how special the Pyramids are.

I just went to AIG to check out the stromatolite article. Hadn't been there in some time and found

1. AIG now requires you to create an account with them to view articles. You can log in with Facebook or Twitter but the software still creates your own account and tries to spam your email with AIG crap2. I signed in with Facebook, created the account, searched for "stromatolites" and found a new article (Sept 1 2017) titled "Stromatolites--Rare Reminders of a Lost World". However when I selected the link I got a message "Access to this content is restricted. Please enter an unlock code to view the content." and a box to enter an unlock code which I don't have.

Anyone else have the same experience? Is this their way of hiding the new heretical article?

Yes well. Creationists are not known for their useful contributions to science.

Actually you're wrong. Creationists founded modern science. Recently there have been a fair number of professional scientists reject Darwinism and adopt what they call "the third way." One major cause of this is the work of creationists.

I ran a search for stromatolites on AiG and, sure enough, they have recognised that they have a problem. They have (or at least Snelling has) even admitted that stromatolites are confirmed as far back as the Lower Archaean, around 3.5 billion years ago on the Evilutionist Global Conspiracy Timescale. And, they have admitted that stromatolite reefs take a long time to grow, and they only have about 1600 "pre-Flood" years to deal with all the pre-Cambrian strata. So, what to do?

Well, and hold onto your gasters here lest they be flabbered out of reach, they have decided there is only one way to deal with the situation: make shit up! They have done this very enthusiastically, to the point where they're arguably committing heresy.

They want the pre-Cambrian sedimentary strata to be laid down in "the Day 3 Great Regression", which is what they call it when God supposedly raised the land out of the water, and lotsa water ran off, causing massive erosion in the process. The early stromatolites are in these strata, so the stromatolites have to come first.

The result of this clusterfuck is that they are now proposing that God created complete stromatolite reefs, with real live cells, on Day 2. They can't fit them in anywhere else, so Day 2 it has to be. This is in spite of the Bible clearly saying that God did not create life in the oceans until Day 5.

Answers in Genesis no longer cares what the Bible says. They have gone and jumped the shark, and are now writing their own creation myth in direct contradiction of the Bible.

1) Testy did NOT explain anything2) A creationist - me - raised everyone's awareness about Sloss and megasequences ... you're welcome!3) We discussed sandstones in various parts of N. America (and Israel) which people like Snelling say were all deposited at the same time. I think that's probably true and that little blurb from Ager (if accurate) supports this idea ... but it is difficult to prove given the nature of geology4) To my way of thinking, there is no way you can get a continent sized sandstone layer that's incredibly flat and incredibly thin with small, calm, placid regional inundations over millions of years ... especially when you try to explain the 30 foot boulders at the base of the layers. The only way you get that is with some sort of massive global cataclysm ... which is very difficult to model, which is why it's taking so much time and money by creationists.

LOL! I'd forgotten about Dave's little "summaries" where he lies about 99% of the thread and pats himself on the back boasting how his clever and decisive arguments won the day.

The closure of ancient oceans created a dynamic setting suitable for craton formation via the thickening of continental material over a mantle downwelling. This process subjected the thickening lithosphere to extensive deformation, forming internal structure that can be preserved over the lifetime of the craton. Recent seismic imaging of cratonic lithosphere has led to observations of anomalous features colloquially known as midlithospheric discontinuities. These discontinuities are attributed to a range of sources, including the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, melt accumulation, and phase transitions. However, the internal structure imaged within these cratons might be reflective of their formation. In particular, the orientation and nature of the variable depths of the midlithospheric discontinuities suggest a more complicated origin such as that which could be introduced during the formation and thickening phase of cratonic lithosphere. Here, we present geodynamic models demonstrating the internal structures produced during the formation of cratonic lithosphere as well as new seismological observations of midlithospheric discontinuities in the West African craton, together with reassessment of midlithospheric discontinuities observed in the North American, South African, Fennoscandia, and Australian cratons. We suggest that the midlithospheric discontinuities observed in these cratons could be remnants of deformation structures produced during the formation of the cratons after ancient oceans closed.

British geologist Derek Ager in his book The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record4 marvelled at the way sedimentary rocks layers persisted for thousands of kilometres across continents. Like a blanket, they are relatively thin compared with the area they cover. https://creation.com/continent-wide-sedimentary-strata

You can't even explain the distribution of sediment in your own state you dumbass.

Maybe Dave can explain how his Majik FLUD distributed the different materials this way?

I particularly like the rock formations at Elephant Rock State Park

Quote

Elephant Rocks State Park in southeastern Missouri exhibits the effects of rock fractures well. While initial cracks formed in the granite as it cooled over 1 billion years ago, during periods of continental uplift over the course of Missouri's history, the larger cracks formed in the rocks, fracturing all of the underlying granite into cubes. As the rocks were slowly uplifted and exposed at the surface, wind and rain slowly eroded, rounded, and enlarged the fractures to produce the large oval shaped boulders that are known as the Elephant Rocks (Seeger 2008).
